What is Hypnobirthing?

With a Hypnobirthing course you will learn how to use your body’s own natural instinct for birthing to achieve a comfortable and easy birth. This tried and tested technique helps you to avoid fear and tension in labour. Through self hypnosis to induce deep relaxation, you will learn how to remain calm but in control throughout a natural and often shorter labour. Hypnobirthing is a gentle start in the world to your baby as you learn pre and post-natal bonding techniques. Your partner will be an active part of your birth preparation, during the labour they will be an essential part of the process.

In the Western world we are conditioned to approach childbirth with fear; we see many examples in films and hear many stories of women screaming in agony for hours. We also hear stories about births that became out of control and ended up with highly medicalised procedures, including Caesarians, leaving women feeling upset and let down.

Hypnobirthing teaches women easy techniques to achieve deep relaxation through self-hypnosis techniques. It also shows how partners can become valuable members of the birthing team. Both partners attend the classes and the birthing partner is an integral part of the whole programme.
